Exercise Saudi-British Green Flag

For the next two weeks RAF Coningsby will be hosting guests from the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) whilst the two air forces take part in Exercise Saudi-British Green Flag.

Saudi aircrews in Typhoon and Tornado aircraft will be flying alongside their counterparts in RAF Typhoon and Tornados during the exercise. The Typhoons are from 3 (Fighter) Squadron at Coningsby. The RAF Tornado element is from the Tornado Force based at RAF Marham; aircraft, crews and support staff from the Norfolk base have deployed to Coningsby for the duration of the event.

During the exercise aircraft will be operating within the normal flying times at Coningsby; no night flying is planned.

The Russian media are still reporting early December for a Kuznetsov deployment to the Mediterranean.

From Google translation.

The Russian aircraft carrier “Admiral Kuznetsov” winter travel to Syria, according to ITAR-TASS.

“At the end of the year, most likely in early December, the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser” Admiral Kuznetsov “project 11435 will go to the far sea campaign in which comes to a point of material technical support of the Russian Navy, stationed in the Syrian city of Tartus, “- said the defense ministry. The official said the Defense Ministry, the campaign schedule has been agreed, so the aggravated situation in the region is unlikely to be an obstacle to send aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean Sea. He also said that the visit of the Russian aircraft carrier has nothing to do with the opposition in Syria.

Does anyone know what ship the Russians have sent to the region to ‘mediate’?

One of the ships reported in the Russian media is the Black Sea Fleet Cruiser Moskva. She is on a scheduled return from a goodwill visit to Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. Destroyer Vice Admiral Kulakov was also part of the Moskva trip so it might be Kulakov or another Northern Fleet vessel heading for the Mediterranean?

Of note is the movement of some personnel out of Tartus naval facility in Syria. Tartus is primarily staffed by civilians anyway.

Russia To Withdraw Personnel From Syria Naval Base

MOSCOW, Aug 28 (Reuters) – Russia is preparing to withdraw personnel from its naval maintenance and supply facility on Syria’s Mediterranean coast, Interfax news agency reported on Wednesday.

If accurate, the plan would reflect safety concerns as the United States and its allies gear up for a probable strike to punish President Bashar al-Assad for an alleged gas attack his foes say killed hundreds of people.

The modestly staffed and equipped facility in the port of Tartous is Russia’s sole military base outside the former Soviet Union, serving as a foothold in Syria and helping it keep warships travelling through the Eastern Mediterranean supplied.

Citing an unnamed source in the Russian navy headquarters, Interfax reported that the facility’s personnel had boarded the repair vessel stationed there and that Russian warships would escort it out.

The report did not say when the vessel would leave Tartous or how many people were aboard. The Defence Ministry declined to comment, saying questions should be addressed to the navy. Navy officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

The reported movement of the Amur Class repair ship from Tartus ties in with the Morse Code international weather that the Amur Class PM-138 sends every day back to Sevastopol. I can pick this up here in the UK. The Russian Navy still makes extensive use of Morse Code.

It appears that the repair ship is shuttling from Tartus to a position off the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. In and out since the 17th August. As of the 30th August she was back in Tartus.

Positional info stripped out of the weather broadcast. Here is one from the 27th August on 8345 Kilohertz.

Welcome to the word of Sorcha Faal. The story is compiled by conspiracy nut David Booth. If you thought Alex Jones and David Icke were bad then David Booth making stuff up under ‘Sorcha Faal’ goes even further.

Her comes the conspiracy part sorry folk’s, but just watch the following videos and read the links then make your mind up False Flag ? Please try to view them without bias as this could happen anything is possible. The scrubbed e-mail from the Daily Mail was on their web site until recently and it mentions of Obamas backing for use of chemical attacks but has now been deleted.

It is a fake. Britam was hacked but the hacker obviously did a bit of copy and paste when he/she was compiling and up to mischief.

See both links to e-mails. Everything is the same including the message ID and the time stamp. The only thing changed is the date.

The hacking of Britam Defence, a company run by former SAS chiefs with many Middle Eastern clients, is being investigated by cybercrime and counterterrorism specialists at Scotland Yard. The security services are also believed to be studying the breach.

No problem, Alan.
The organisers at Waddington were spot on with the time-slots during the air show. Top attractions such as the Swedish Historic Flight (Viggen, Tunnen, Sk-160), Vulcan etc were provided with late afternoon slots that aided photography from the crowd line.

Any no fly zone in Syria would need to have Russia’s approval, which is not due any time soon, not as long as the Tarsus naval base is still active.

In addition, according to this article on a cypriot daily newspaper (a version in English quoting the article here), the Russians have officially asked (and got) permission to use the Paphos air base for military operations. So… a no fly zone in Syria? Good luck with that.

Clearly you are one of the believers that think Russia is going to use military force if the US/NATO or a Coalition set up a unilateral no fly zone? Even a limited one in the North of Syria? Russia is not going to lift a finger to support Assad if push comes to shove. You have completely taken the offer of air bases in Cyprus out of context. Do you seriously think that Cyprus is going to allow Russia to mount combat operations from their territory to oppose a no fly zone? Seriously?

The use of the air base will be for an evacuation scenario where a transport hub would be established. The same goes for Cypriot port facilities. You are off into fantasy land if you think that the Cypriot Government are offering the use of these facilities for a combat scenario.

The Black Sea Fleet have been conducting numerous exercises in support of an evacuation scenario of Russian nationals in Syria.
